Master’s Degree Program around Embedded Systems
Whether they develop driver assistance systems for cars, electronics for medical devices, software for robot controls or hardware for traffic systems: Embedded systems experts find attractive job opportunities in many industries.
Program
Unlike conventional computers, embedded systems are computers with specific functionality that are integrated, i.e. “embedded”, in the system to be controlled or monitored. They consist of a combination of hardware and software and often contain elements that perform sensor and actuator tasks. In various industrial sectors such as factory automation, medical technology or robotics, embedded systems are indispensable components of innovative products. This degree program focuses on the design of reliable, fault-tolerant systems for safety-critical applications taking into account real-time conditions, such as those used in the automotive or aerospace industries.

Career Prospects
Requirements
Master’s degree programs build on a completed bachelor’s degree program and allow students to specialize or focus on topics in more detail or to expand their existing expertise.
You must meet subject-matter requirements to be admitted to the Embedded Systems master’s degree program. Prerequisites include a bachelor’s degree from a UAS in a relevant subject matter or an equivalent degree from a recognized post-secondary educational institution (at least 180 ECTS credits) in Austria or another country.
If basic equivalence has been established except for a few missing prerequisites, the program director can require students to take exams to establish full equivalence. These exams are taken during the master’s program.
